Correct me if I am wrong... API's that start with capitol letters are
public. Private interfaces use lowercase letters.
Documented/undocumented does not really factor things.

If OpenSSL wants to make it private so that its should not be called
and it won't be maintained, then the symbol should be changed to
ec_key_priv2oct.
